The touch sensor includes an arm attached to the processing machine, a housing attached to the arm and having a sensor section with a contact and a flange, a fastening device for fastening the housing to the arm, and an eccentrically rotating device including an eccentric axis having a first axis and a second axis eccentrically attached to the first axis. A circular hole is formed in one of the housing and the arm to engage the first axis, and an elongated slot is provided in the other of the housing and the arm to engage the second axis. Upon rotation of the eccentric axis, a position of the contact attached to the housing is adjusted relative to the arm or processing machine.
